Welcome to Luos documentation

Introduction

We started designing Luos with the conviction that building electronic systems should be made easier than it is today. Most of the time should be spent on designing the applications and behaviors instead of on complex and time-and-money-eating technicalities. To give a simple example, adding a new sensor —for instance a distance sensor— to an electronic device in conception should not take more than a few minutes. So you can try, test and iterate fast on a project to truly design what users want.

Luos works like microservices architecture in the software world, and a distributed operating systems: it encapsulates any software or hardware function to make it communicate and work with any other encapsulated module, however it was developed, either on bare metal or on top of an embedded OS.

Watch this video for additional details:

You are not familiar with Luos operations?

→ Start reading the Basics page.

You want to make your own board with Luos modules?

→ Start reading how to integrate Luos in you Development environment.

→ Then learn how to Create a luos project.

You want to shape your device behavior?

→ Luos provides schematics and BOM for a sets of Prototyping boards that you can buid and use as examples, or to develop your project.

→ You can make your own embedded Luos apps.

→ You can control your devices through a Gate module using Pyluos.
